Overview
Produces lean skill documents: every line changes agent behavior, nothing repeats, and structure carries meaning instead of prose. Works on any SKILL.md and its reference docs.
Agent workflow
Follow this skill when the user asks to review a skill for verbosity, write a new skill lean from the start, or rewrite an existing skill into a lean version. Match one Recipes row; open exactly that reference. All recipes share the finding categories and lean strategies in lean-contract.md.
